Star Search XX was a Home Run. This year’s group of Open Heifers was of top quality. The bred females were a really strong group. You couple those facts with another SRO crowd and active bidding from the seats, on the phones and a very active internet and you have the recipe for a great sale. That is was. Congratulations to Tyler, Cortney, Kyle and all involved in the presentation of another great sale. $155,000 - Lot 8 - Open Heifer - CF Crystal Lucy 230 RK X ET.
